Narrative
Note: Marie, daughter of Carl and Charlotte Schoen
Finding the 1850 US Census record for Carl Schoen's household brought up another previously-unknown daughter - the Wisconsin-born Mary Schoen, listed as age six in the census record. She likely was born sometime in the late 1840s, and was likely closer to age three in 1850. She was likely still alive by 1855, as the Wisconsin State Census of 1855 for Carl's household included "two white males, 3 white females" - which would likely have been Carl and youngest son John, and Carl's wife Charlotte, teenaged daughter Augusta, and Mary. (Middle son Charles was a young teenager, and likely working and possibly living on another farm.)
By the time of the 1860 US Census, the household consisted of only Carl and Augusta, sons Charles and John, and a boarder or worker (26-year-old Prussian-born Henry Knop). Mary, the youngest daughter, would have been no more than fourteen or fifteen, and likely still at home if she were alive. Her absence suggests she did not survive.
Like the oldest sister Wilhelmina, whatever else occurred, she was almost certainly deceased before the death of her parents, as the obituary for father Carl in 1889 mentions only his widow Charlotte and his three surviving children - Augusta, Charles, and John.
ADDENDUM: While a number of members of the Schoen family had been buried at the Cross Lutheran Cemetery in Ixonia, Dodge Cty, Wisconsin, that cemetery was not in use until 1891 - hence why father Carl Schoen was buried elsewhere, in Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery in Lebanon, Dodge Cty, Wisconsin. Making the assumption that the family would have buried Mary there, a search turns up a listing on the FindaGrave.com website for a Marie Schoen in that cemetery. The website listing gives vital dates (b. 30 Jun 1847, d. 26 Feb 1858) and information from the cemetery records, noting that the marker may no longer exist. From the records:
"died Feb 26 1858 at 10 years, 7 months and 26 days old. Parents not listed."
I believe this to be the lost daughter "Mary" first found in the aforementioned census record. The marker would be nearly three decades older than father Carl's, so I would not be surprised if the stone is indeed broken, sunken, or otherwise missing or destroyed. It is also possible that it is present but simply eroded to near-illegibility, so a walk through the cemetery to attempt to find her gravestone might be worthwhile. If it does still stand, I would not be surprised to see it of a similar style to her parents' stones, which may well help find hers.
